Projection: need to automatically qualify
Radford's résumé presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges, leaving them in a precarious position for NCAA tournament consideration. Their notable wins against teams like William & Mary and Winthrop show they can compete within their conference, but a lack of significant victories against higher-ranked opponents like Pittsburgh and Clemson exposes their weaknesses. Losses to teams such as South Carolina and Longwood, coupled with a mediocre standing in the Big South, suggest that they will need to secure a strong finish in conference play or win the tournament outright to have a shot at NCAA inclusion. A strong finish in upcoming games against Gardner-Webb and UNC Asheville could bolster their resume, but inconsistency against both strong and weaker opponents could jeopardize their chances.
